4 ISIS leaders killed in raid that left 7 US service members injured
Four senior ISIS leaders were killed in last month’s U.S.-Iraqi military raid in western Iraq including the group’s top operations leader in Iraq and its chief bombmaker for whom the United States had offered a $5 million reward, the U.S. military said Friday.
The four ISIS leaders were among the 14 ISIS fighters killed in the Aug. 29 raid on four locations in western Iraq. Seven American service members who participated in the raid were injured.
“This operation targeted ISIS leaders and served to disrupt and degrade ISIS’ ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against Iraqi civilians, as well as U.S. citizens, allies, and partners throughout the region and beyond,” the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on Friday.
